The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Academic for the time being due to stock availability but what sort of power supply rating is consider the floor for these cards (i'd be pairing it with a 13600k). Just wondering if the 750 gold i have will cut it under load. The 3060ti i have at the moment is obviously no problem.

I have a now 8 years old EVGA Super Nova 650 GS, 650 watts gold rated, granted my CPU never pulls more than 100 watts, the GPU i can run OC 300 watts, the PSU has never complained..... IMO a 750 watts gold rated PSU will be perfectly fine...

you going from a 4080Super to a 9070 non XT? I just see 4080S in you sig? or is just another build?

the 4080s is going into my sons build. i sold his 4070s..... and i just wanted a new toy so yer.. lol
i did plan on getting the XT but cant find the Nitro+ in stock so just grabbed the none XT

i literally just play squad and Ashes so decided the boy derived the better GPU

Holly cow.... i just realised my PSU might actually be more like 10 years old :eek: time to think about replacing it?

Given that there's a non-zero probability that PSU failure will take out one or more more expensive components in the PC: yes, yes it is.
 
This is running warzone at 120fps 3440x1440. Going to appreciate that power draw in the summer months hehe.


Only downside is my 3900XT CPU is a massive massive bottleneck now.
I upgraded from a 3900X to 5800X3D, don't regret it one bit.

Although it does depend if you have workloads that use the cores. I only really game on mine.
 



:o

Yes i would be replacing the 650w, if you have a bigger unit i would that your fine
the supernova was a good PSU...

Depends on its power rating and if it is good quality?

I only replaced my 10 year old PSU after it started causing hard resets under high loads.
 
Do EVGA still make PSU's?

For now it still operates the same way it did when it was new, its a SeaSonic unit packaged as EVGA. But yes, i think 10 years is enough, time to retire it....

what system is it running. i love that everyone now day says or you need 1000w minimum 1300w is a safe for future.
and there you are still rocking a 10yo 650w

It's a 10 year old seasonic though.

That thing could probably deliver 800W when new.

yer i totally get that, it just a bash at when people say you must have now days...
i have an RM850w with a 13900kf, some people would have a stroke at me not running a 1000w psu because you know CPU 400w under load when in the real world it games at 140w max load

Ryzen 5800X
RX 7800 XT
360mm AIO
3 SSD's
7 ARGB case fans not including the 3 AIO fans, so 10 total.

IMO there is no need to go bit watts unless you actually need big watts, so long as you have enough with some headroom the quality of the PSU is far more important, for me that is SeaSonic, i have had other PSU's that didn't last half as long and haven't been nice to me, the last one was a highly reviewed XFX 750, that thing stated to carbonise the 8 pin PCIe connectors on the GPU after a couple of years.

my 4 year old 650w core reactor with my low power i5-10400f is fine with the xt
 
i little of thread, are we expecting a 9080 to drop at any point or have AMD say the 9070 is the top level there making?
9070 is top for a few years I'd say. AMD are focused on mainstream and expanding their market share. They've said they'd like to get back in to competing with high end halo products, but that is medium to long term.
